Im trying to get bms4.33 to run again .... at present when i run it it appears in the top left of my main monitor seemingly to be in about 1024 by something if I try to run in non-windowed mode it shuts down my graphics card with a no signal message on the screen... the original falcon runs ok ... I have disabled all other monitors and I am just trying to get the bloody thing working ...it doesn't seem to matter what resolution I set within game ...also I removed the files for a reinstall and I now cannot get the to install again ... with a registry error .. I have tried the fixes for this at benchmark .. but still no good ...

any help would be appreciated

cheers

I don't know what you've tried, but maybe try deleting Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\User\Config\dx9display.dsp and restarting.

But until you can get it re-installed that won't help. BMS needs to be removed through the Setup>remove or it causes issues, or at least that's my understanding.

Have a look here

thanks for the reply .. I managed to get it re-installed.. good start ... but now it crashes on the splash screen with a BMS 4.33 has stopped working message ... once I get round that will start looking at the resolution problem

Hmm, frustrating right?

I have zero idea what the problem is. Are you setting BMS to 64 bit mode? Maybe try windowed mode? Unplug peripherals including additional monitors. I assume you can get the configuration screen/launcher? It crashes from there when you try to start the sim?

Does it save the settings from before, even though you have re-installed? Is it possible to reset defaults on all configuration settings?

I imagine the fix is simple if we can figure out what the problem is!

I know this will sound crazy, but do you have your speakers or headphones plugged in. I had a similar issue once when I had my headphone jack disconnected. Have no idea what causes this, but it quit crashing when I plugged my headset back in.

got this far ... now the screen resolution on the graphics option is showing 1920x1080.. this is in the windowed mode .. if I dont choose the cockpit displays to external windows ... it just seems to shutdown my graphics card and "no signal " to monitor .. at the moment I have disconnected my other monitors so I am running one screen at 1920x1080 but it BMS will not go full screen

cheers for the help guys

Game resolution should match the native screen resolution AFAIK.

First, what are your system specs? OS? GPU? What stuff do you have attached to the PC?

Second, BMS **WILL** go to that lower resolution if you have it set to fullscreen... it **WILL** force your system to change to that resolution. It does not matter what you have the resolution set as in Windows or in the game, it **WILL** go to that lower res... 1024x768 IIRC. This is true when you're on the 2D menu screens. When you're in the 3D world, BMS **WILL** go to whatever resolution you've set on the SETUP screen.

If BMS is set as windowed (Cockpit displays to external windows is on), then you'll keep your original Windows resolution and you'll see the picture you get above, with the 2D menu screens sized appropriately depending on your Windows resolution. Going to the 3D world will again make BMS go to whatever resolution you've set on the SETUP screen.

If you click on the Launcher, then click on "Cockpit Diplay Extraction," select MAIN then on the left side, un-tick BORDERS, then press SAVE & CLOSE. I know it's a workaround, but it'll at least get you flying for now.

systems specs
AMD FX8350
Windows 10 X64
16gb RAM
Nvidia Gtx960 2gb
running to a 32in Toshiba LED TV ..narrative resolution 1920x1080 via an HDMI connection
I have disconnected my other 2 7in generic screens
Also 3 Leo Bodnar cards
TrackIR
Saitex X55

Standard screen res is set to 1920x1080 in windows ... If I dont set the "Cockpit displays to External windows" option in the BMS config it seems to just shut down my graphics card and I get "No signal" on my monitor and have to alt del out

I have the grphics setting on BMS set to 1920x1080... but it still does not go full screen

Just Tried the Borders thing ..fantastic ... can at least get in the air now
Cheers

Sorry to hear that... I'm sure the game should be able to run on a 2GB card... does this happen on other games as well? Might be a good idea to post this on the official forums, maybe the devs can shed a light on it.

Yeah, he can fly but with or without his extra displays?

I would think WITH his extra displays, whichever way he's using to get them.
